Sheffield · England
Made-to-measure clothing delivered to Sheffield
Sheffield made its name in steel, from cutlery to the scissors in many a sewing box, and it is built on hills, as anyone who has walked up to Crookes or Walkley knows. Clothes here need to cope with steep pavements, a stiff breeze and the odd downpour. The Gilded Seam makes women’s clothing to your measurements in Pakistan and delivers the finished outfit to your Sheffield address.

Ordering from Sheffield
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the UK: ordering from the UK.
Cuts for a city of hills
Sheffield’s steep streets reward practical choices. Side slits deep enough for a long stride uphill, straight or cigarette trousers that stop at the ankle, and a kameez that ends around the knee all make a climb easier than a hem that brushes the pavement. Our guide to side slits and hemlines explains the options.
The western side of the city runs up to the edge of the Peak District, where winters are noticeably colder. A lined cambric kameez or a khaddar two-piece earns its place, and fine lawn is best kept for the warmest weeks.
Lectures, placements and the working week
With the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam both close to the city centre, plenty of Sheffield wardrobes have to work for lectures, placements and part-time jobs. A cotton or cambric kurta over jeans or straight trousers washes well and survives a busy week, and a two-piece co-ord looks smart for a presentation.
Getting your fabric to us
Unstitched suits reach Sheffield in plenty of ways: from a brand’s UK website, from a trip to Leeds Road in Bradford or Wilmslow Road in Manchester, or in a suitcase from Pakistan. With Stitching Only, contact us with daylight photos first, so we can confirm the fabric is suitable, that there is enough for your design and how to send it. Your fabric then travels to Pakistan, and the finished outfit comes to you as a separate delivery.
Rather not send anything? With Fabric + Stitching we supply the agreed fabric, so only one parcel travels. Your written quote, in pounds sterling, confirms the design, production time and shipping cost, and includes any import duties and taxes, so there is nothing extra to pay on arrival; our UK page sets out what GOV.UK says.

FAQ
Sheffield questions
Do you have a shop in Sheffield?
No. There is no shop, studio or showroom in Sheffield or anywhere else in the UK. Everything is ordered online, made in Pakistan and delivered to your address.
Can I order a warmer kameez for winter?
Yes. Khaddar, karandi and marina are heavier than lawn, and a cotton lining adds warmth to a lighter fabric. Tell us how you plan to wear it, and the fabric, lining and sleeve length are agreed in writing before cutting.
